Dell has announced its new Latitude 7400 2-in-1 notebook before CES 2019. Dell claims that the laptop is totally new from the ground-up and boasts of features such as Dell’s ExpressSign-in, Cat. 16 Gigabit LTE, and ExpressCharge which claims to offer up to an 80 percent charge within an hour. The Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 will go on sale in the US in March, at a starting price of $1,599 (approximately Rs. 1,11,100).

The Latitude 7400 2-in-1 is available in a brand new Titan
Gray finish, using a solid aluminum body and a hairline brushed layout. The
burden of the notebook starts at 1.36kg but this will change depending on the
configuration you choose. As it is a 2-in-1, the display of the notebook can be
tilted all the way round so it can be used as a tablet computer. Dell has also
says it’s beefed up the thermal alternative in the Latitude 7400 2-in-1, which
now makes use of GORE material, infused by an aerogel, similar to what NASA
uses.

One of the big new features is Dell’s ExpressSign-in that
employs a combination of Intel’s Context Sensing Technology and Windows Hello,
to automatically authenticate the user. The proximity detector built into the
notebook detects your existence as you approach it and will wake up it up,
after which the infrared camera system is used to authenticate your head and
signal you into Windows. Dell says that the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 can recognise
if you’re away from the PC and automatically lock it and put it to sleep.

The notebook is powered by Intel’s 8th generation U-series
‘Whiskey Lake’ CPUs, and supports up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAMup to a 1TB M.Two
PCIe NVMe SSD and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 GPU. There’s a 2TB storage
option coming from”summertime 2019″. The Latitude 7400 2-in-1
features a 14-inch touch display with a full-HD (16:9) resolution, together
with anti-reflective and anti-smudge treatments and Gorilla Glass 5. It also
supports Dell’s Active Pen, which can be sold separately. The display boasts of
having narrow borders on all sides and despite this, Dell has managed to fit
the webcam and the infrared camera to get Windows Hello up on the top, where it
goes.

In terms of physical connectivity, the notebook features two
USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen1) ports, two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces (Type-C), a
full-sized HDMI jack, SIM card slot on compatible models, mciroSD card reader,
SmartCard reader, plus a Noble Wedge Lock slot. For wireless connectivity, you
receive dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2×2 MIMO antennas, Bluetooth 5.0, and
also a option for a LTE variant using Cat. 16 Gigabit LTE speeds. Being a
business laptop, the Latitude 7400 2-in-1 has additional security in the form
of Dell’s ControlVault 3 to get hardware multi-factor authentication and
programs like VMware’s Workspace ONE pre-installed. The laptop can also
be’Skype for Business’ certified and has stereo speakers with MaxxAudio Pro.
